I'm going to go against the tide and say that I actually think the new gun crusade is the best thing that has happened to conservatives in years. The democrats have totally misread public opinion (calls to congress are running 9 to 1 against) and seriously overreached on gun control and are going to pay for it politically. I know people that aren't interested in politics that are mad as hell over this, and ready to ride the democrats out on a rail. After getting destroying in 1994, the democrats put on a pro-gun (or at least gun neutral) mask for 18 years. They fooled a lot of gun owners into believing they really had seen the light and guns didn't even register in 2008 or 2012. Well in three weeks they have manged to destroy every bridge they party had made with gun owners and not only that, they went so far toward gun control so fast that it was obvious that they never had any regard for 2nd amendment to begin with and it was all a sham.
I may be wrong, but I think they have done fatal damage to any chance of ever taking back the house for the next fifty years. The simple fact of the matter is, they CAN NOT take back the house without rural red state districts and no gun owner is ever going to be fooled again by a democrat claiming to be pro-gun.
Thank you for taking off the mask democrats and showing your true gun grabbing selves, we won't be fooled again...

Only if we escape from this without losing freedom. I am not going to sacrifice individual freedom for political power.

The democrats totally misread public opinion and seriously overreached on ObamaCare and paid for it politically. As a result, they lost the House and lost seats in the Senate. Still, ObamaCare is now the law of the land, and our freedom is restricted by one more large step. Until such time as decent Americans push back and actually repeal unconstitutional laws whenever we can, the far left will continue to push, regardless of the political cost to them or the human cost to individual Americans who are harmed by their policies.

We all were certain that people were fed up before the election. Look how that turned out. A lot of idiots, including a few million “true conservatives” in one way or another elected this traitor. I believe that was our last hope to turn the tide, which will now sweep us all away.
